Steve Harris, the formidable British improv and free-funk percussionist and music educator, died at 59 last year, and this double album is his final statement. Harris was the drummer in the long-running Pinski Zoo, a group that imparted Albert Ayler and Ornette Coleman's edge to dance grooves like few others - but he meant it when he said: "The last thing I wanted to sound like was the perceived notion of jazz, or anything else," and his biggest love was Zaum, the remarkable cross-genre group he formed in 2001. One of this set's discs collects "field recordings" captured around the UK in 2006-7, the other is an hour's take from a single show in Brighton. The collection goes on to splice abstract noise, lyrical viola parts, Evan Parkerish free sax, regular jazz (Thelonious Monk's Let's Cool One fades in and out of one rugged conversation), guitar flame-throwing worthy of Marc Ducret, and - in sections of Live in Brighton - fearsome hard-funk grooving that's like a free-jazz Bitches Brew. Harris's breadth of vision and composer's sense of pacing and drama is sorely missed, but if there has to be an epitaph, this is an excellent one.
